Monday’s Factors and Events

U.S. stock index futures pointed to a sharply higher open on Monday, as the damage from Hurricane Irma was not as bad as feared.

Hurricane Irma, once a Category 5 hurricane, hit the coast of Florida over the weekend. On early Monday, Irma continued to thrash the state, after slamming the Keys, Miami and other areas nearby in recent days. The hurricane has gradually lost strength, however, and has been downgraded to Category 1 as it continues to move its way across land. Storm surges were also much smaller than the National Hurricane Center expected.
